I was really looking fwd to learning from this amazing gathering of informed, educated and versed men. I was wrong, I would do well to hurry back and seek access to the LMA - hope they will have me.
I tend to be honest (outspoken) and males don't like that. I also tend to give freely any knowledge I may have (about flight). Strangely, males also seem to dislike that. An interesting questions about spar design had me on the edge of my seat - could not wait to hear the replies. Nothing, the question was ignored. However, some half-wit with limited linguistic abilities raise some macho topic about G forces in 60 degree turns and we are all ablaze and we all have something to say. With one exception, most of the comments were absolute garbage anyway. I know, I teach. Who gives hoot how a prehistoric trainer handles - the small penis brigade cannot wait to tell their bit (of BS). I somehow thought that the focus would be on how to make the KR better, safer, stronger and in the air. I know this is my last appearance - no doubt the good Mr. Langford will jettison me in short order, but on the way out: Larry Flesner - thank you for you most informative and objective reports - you have told me what to expect from my 2S (tail dragger) and I will enjoy keeping an eye on you and "bigfoot". I wish you everything of the best - you are a lovely man. (And an Ok burger fryer). Let the assholes know when the jury is out on side slips - I will be watching. Mark Jones - your enthusiasm is so refreshing - I wish I had the questions to ask - I just kow that you would provide excellent answers. Good luck mon ami. Steve J - I so wish I could answer your questions - I can sense that you want to do it right and are looking for the help that this forum should be all about. Dana Overall - thank you, an endless source of unselfish information - enjoy the tin can. (Thank you for the truisms) Other Mark - you have the makings of a really nice guy - why are you coming across as such a hard nosed prick? Really no need. We are experimenters and pioneers. I would really NOT like to see any classic "ambulance chaser" claims as to why the guys who have the answers do not give them. Happy landings and good tail winds - maybe one day .......
